i guess me and him have alot in common
------ Yes we do love Winona don't we
----- yes I'll tell my gambling story for our new members. I started playing my keno games (a game sort of like bingo) back in 1999. I played a seven spot, using five numbers from a fortune telling machine card 9, 17, 21, 30, and 46. Plus 29 (Winona's age at the time) and 48 (my age at the time). I hit 7 out of 7 for $1,400, which I thought was great. ----- But next year in 2000 I found some 10 spot progressive nickel keno machines at Sam's Town so I started playing them. I added number 51 (the year I was born), 71 (the year Winona was born), and number 2 (for Winona and me) to the seven numbers I already mentioned. Well before the year was out I hit 10 out of 10 for $40,114, playing just four nickels at a time.
----- That was the best part of my keno story. ----- And it just so happens this year turned out to be a heartbreaker.
----- Since I hit that one in 2000 I've started playing a new casino game "Million Dollar Ticket". You pick ten numbers for a $1 bet and if you hit all ten you win the progressive, which now is around $1,075,000.
----- April 3rd 2007 I walk into Sam's Town to check last night's tickets and the lady said I hit 9 out of 10, all I did when I heard that was swear under my breath.
----- The number I missed was number 21. The 9 spots on the ticket payed $5,000 which is nice, but missing out on $1,075,000 is very upseting.
----- And the lady told me two weeks ago someone else hit 9 out of 10, I wonder if that person was P.O.'d also.
----- My keno story makes me feel like I have a sort of cosmic connection to our lovely Winona Ryder. I've hit three big jackpots in just seven years using those numbers (plus a lot smaller jackpots besides), and I'm determined to hit some more big ones.
